One of Chuck’s favorite snacks is “Chex Mix”. But it’s the best when you make it yourself and don’t buy it premade.
So I picked up the ingredients and whipped some up for our Christmas celebration we had recently.
HERE is the recipe.
Mix the cereal, pretzels and peanuts (and bagel chips if you have them) together.
Mix the other ingredients together. Mix together. Then you cook everything in the microwave for a few minutes. Then you spread everything out on paper towels to cool. I actually had two trays full.
Then you EAT! And hopefully you make this when people are over because holy cow…it’s yummy and hard not to eat it all in one sitting!

Since I had a ton of cereal leftover from the Chex Mix, I thought I would try one of the other recipes on the box. I was surprised I had everything I needed in the house. That never happens.
I made Chex Lemon Buddies. Oh man were they good. I saved most of them, but I had to snack on them when they were done. You make these very similar to Muddy Buddies or “Puppy Chow”.
They were so lemon-y and delicious. I love lemon flavored things. This is definitely going to be out at the next party I have!
If you are in the need for some little snacks to bring to an event or just want to take something with to work for a snack, either of these would be great options!
